Zen Imbecile: October 2006
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 11, 2006. I've been lying to you. If it makes you feel any better, I've also been lying to myself. I can't even drink decaf coffee. It is a gateway drug. Decaf coffee always leads to regular coffee. ALWAYS. You start off with a nice cup of decaf - black, hot, sharp, rich . OK, am I lying to us again? Did I avert my eyes from the pot on purpose? Perhaps. At least I didn't whisper "Just a little squirt of the good stuff" and wink at her. Right? I mean, right? It wasn't my fault! No, I ne...

Zen Imbecile: November 2006
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 09, 2006. So I might have actually harbored some paranoid fantasies that our whole voting system was rigged and I'm glad to be proven wrong. But this quote. From Rush Limbaugh, reported by Andrew Sullivan, might fuel a whole new set of 'em. I never thought people like Limbaugh might not believe what they were saying. Is this why our country is in such a mess? Because people are willing to sacrifice their integrity for the sake of victory? Clinton for president because she's a woman.

Zen Imbecile: May 2006
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 31, 2006. All I want to do/is to get back to you. I have a dilemma. Despite my claim in the previous post. That I would allow myself to wander hither and yon with abandon and be all Zen about it, I can't bring myself to start a new thread or pick up an old thread without some kind of transition. So now I want to get back on the other road but I just hate. I see a connection! Drum roll please . Posted by zen imbecile at 4:39 AM. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. But Paris and habeas corpus got in the ...

Zen Imbecile: February 2007
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 27, 2007. One modern Zen author says that what we call emotion is just movement in the body that we've learned to label a certain way. For example:. Constriction of the abdomen = nervousness. Heat in the face = embarrassment. Dull ache in the chest = sadness. I had a lot of movement in my body yesterday. It is not nice to end a beautiful weekend with a Monday. It should not be done. Monday should be a transitional day. A half day, if you will. Rapid heartbeat shallow breathing = panic.

Zen Imbecile: July 2006
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 27, 2006. Guy on the street. Various self helpers have lots useless and ridiculous things to say about the fear of failure, like "what part of you wants to fail? Or "what's the payoff for failing? My personal favorite, however, goes something like this:. You're not really afraid of failing. You're afraid of succeeding" (Waggles eyebrows). If we stay focused on the Zen Imbecile challenge, however, we can see that I can kick this fear right in the ass, and hard. This fear is going down.

Zen Imbecile: January 2007
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Zoom a zoom zoom in a boom boom. Does anybody know how to accent the e on a keyboard? Because that's the word I want to write:. Re-zoo-may. Not resoom. Although, resoom is a good word for what my re-zoo-may looks like. From a quick glance, you can see how quickly I've always resoomed the job hunt after accepting a job - almost every year of my life for the last 12 years. Maybe if I call it something different, people won't notice the resooming splattered all over it. I also was...

Zen Imbecile: June 2006
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 30, 2006. Wherever you go, there you are.". Have you ever had someone say that to you? People who say this always make the same face when they do it. Head tilts a little. Mouth stretches and thins so that the lips dissappear. Eyebrows raise. They shake their heads. Sometimes they shrug their shoulders. Often this statement is preceded by "Well, you know ." And then you want to smash their face in, right? You pause for a second and then answer, "Shit, man, I don't know.". 1) great (Pronunciat...

Zen Imbecile: September 2006
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 27, 2006. I remembered the story about the man. After my father's biscuit. See the second entry) because, of course, I hate my job and would like to find another one. More specifically though, I've been thinking about the possible similarities between a man hunt and a job hunt because, of course, I hate my job and would like to find another one. And by "man hunt" I don't mean that the kind of hunt that ends with someone dead or in prison . unless you consider marriage a prison. Well,...

Zen Imbecile: August 2006
http://zenimbecile.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. Laying low. sitting up straight. It has been awhile, hasn't it? 1) I've been sick and tired. And sick. And tired. I get a little . um . hot under the collar about stuff sometimes which makes sleeping difficult which in turn makes waking difficult and wears down my immune system which . Thus the whole business of being sick and tired. Shocking, I know, but true! 3) Related to #1, my new ambition in life is to follow my own advice. My nights and mornings used to look like this:.
